Comments not visible if on members-only post?

Developer help
1

Hi All,

My client wants to show comments to all users, although only members can comment. Is there a flag for comments somewhere I’m missing, or is this not supported?

Update: OK, so comments are accessible via the API, even on members-only posts with nonmembers. So I’ve got a workaround anyway…

Update #2 - #if comments returns false if the user cannot read the post. However, loading the comments-ui script causes comments to appear.

Hey @Cathy_Sarisky ! I’m currently trying to solve the same issue, is there a way to override this with the theme to always show the comments even after the paywall? How did you finally solve it?

There’s a new version of the comments script out, but I think you can manually load the comments script. At least, that was true a couple versions ago…
